About the Role
This role is for a Robotics Technician who will help bring Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, to life. You will work directly on cutting-edge robotic hardware, assembling electronics, welding brackets, crimping harnesses, and debugging CAN networks.
Responsibilities
- Perform precise mechanical and electrical integration: harness routing, PCB soldering, cable crimping, and component installation
- Identify mechanical and design flaws during assembly to improve reliability and scalability
- Build and test custom mounts, fixtures, and test rigs under tight timelines
- Support construction of the final robot platform as components arrive over the coming months
- Troubleshoot systems using automotive-style diagnostic methods
- Document every step clearly, including photo evidence tied to tickets or Linear workflows
- Maintain workshop cleanliness, organize build zones, and keep operations safe and compliant
- Work autonomously with minimal oversight, but hold a high bar for quality
Requirements
- Hands-on experience in mechanical fabrication and electronic circuitry
- Confident reading wiring schematics and interpreting layout drawings
- Proficient with hand tools, power tools, multimeters, and basic CAD views
- Skilled in harness prep, termination, and routing (crimping, heat-shrink, connectors)
- Comfortable with iterative rework and iteration-based problem solving
- Passionate about clean documentation and reproducible processes
- Prior experience in automotive, industrial equipment, or robotics fields
